Managed by the National Trust of Zimbabwe, the area spans 70 hectares and includes remnants of stone-walled settlements dating back to the 14th and 15th centuries.

Nothing beats being up in the Nyanga mountains here at World’s view. The garden area is well maintained and there is opportunity for hiking if one chooses to do so. A beautiful and scenic place that makes you stop and appreciate the beautiful scenery we have.

A very rich experience this is .You'll get to see a plethora of greenery and different flora in the garden on the hill. There's a unique 360° tower where you can pinpoint cities in the SADC region based on a compass, basically tells you how far they are from the centre of the tower.Then there is a nice bench where you can view Nyanga town and surrounding areas from a distance at a very high altitude. If one is also interested there is mountain hiking , so better come geared up . Something to note as well is the road is quite friendly to small cars , an SUV or Truck is advised Very nice place it is , a solid 4/5

My visit to World's View in Nyanga was simply unforgettable! This spectacular vista offers a mesmerizing panorama of the Eastern Highlands, with its dramatic drop to the plain below adding to its allure. It's a convenient stop for travelers, especially those staying at Troutbeck Resort. However, the journey to World's View wasn't without its challenges. The road, while scenic, had its fair share of rough patches, requiring a high clearance car for a smoother ride. Despite this, the breathtaking views and the sense of wonder at being perched atop the escarpment made it all worthwhile. For anyone seeking a truly awe-inspiring experience in the Eastern Highlands, World's View is a must-visit destination. Just be prepared for an adventure on the way there!

On a cold and windy afternoon a visit to the wonderful Worlds View was a pure treat. The area surrounding was well kept, gardens neat and tidy, ablutions were well maintained. The views were truly amazing.
